** Description changed:

- this appears to be a regression as it was working properly last week
- build 294
- oxide 1.0.0~bzr501-0ubuntu1
- webbrowser-app 0.23+14.04.20140414-0ubuntu1
+ [Impact]
  
- Open twitter.com in the webbrowser-app
- try to click on a link in a tweet
+ In the webbrowser-app, when clicking on a link that is supposed to open
+ a new window (e.g. href w/ target="_blank" or window.open()), nothing
+ actually happens.
  
- expected results:
- link should open in existing tab or a new tab
+ The fix for the bug is in 2 parts:
+ - enabling proper popup handling in the webbrowser-app (and handle catching 
the creation
+ signals from oxide and creating the proper extra tab),
+ - fixing an issue in Oxide that prevented *in some instances* the signal that 
requested the new webview corresponding to the navigation to be created NOT to 
be sent,
  
- actual results:
- link does not open at all
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ - Open twitter.com in the webbrowser-app
+ - Try to click on a link in a tweet
+ - Result: it should create a new tab in the webbrowser-app with the content 
corresponding to the clicked link,
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The fixes are mostly centered around the tab creation and navigation
+ feature in the webbrowser-app. So areas around those would be impacted
+ (in the handling and creation of those in reaction to the user clicking)
